This is a comment I want to hold on to. I have struggled lately to connect in person due to someone who meant a lot to me turning into an abuser. It is very difficult to trust enough to come physically close, but even more important to work at tearing down those walls in order to enjoy proximity again. I am lucky to have spent the day with a friend I don't often see and then read this comment reminding me not to hide. I can choose positive reactions in person just as I can through writing. Thank you.
